10-STEP PROCESS TO INSTALL PLAYER/STAGE/GAZEBO IN UBUNTU

Hi Friends

Lets get into installing player project in the ubuntu system in a very easy process of 10 steps.

Note:Please make sure the system has no version of opencv installed,if present make sure to remove it completely from the system libraries.You can install it after this process is complete.Also for Ubuntu 12.10,13.04 or 13.10 the process remains same,but the library names/versions of dependencies we are going to install may differ.

Let's get started:-

Step 1:-

Create a directory named src in /home directory

In the terminal,type the following
a)mkdir src
b)cd src

Step 2:-

Download player and stage tar files and store in src

Note:-This CMakeListestxt file will be in the folder Stage-3.2.2-Source,make sure to do the changes in the correct one if you open a new terminal
change the three lines:
SET (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE " -O3 -DNDEBUG ${WALL} " CACHE INTERNAL "C Flags for release" FORCE)
SET (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG " -ggdb ${WALL} " CACHE INTERNAL "C Flags for debug" FORCE)
SET (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_PROFILE " -O3 -ggdb -pg ${WALL} " CACHE INTERNAL "C Flags for profile" FORCE)
